This week, an unusually candid conversation about race and writing for movies and television.  First, we talk to a white writer on a black sitcom.  Then, the new report from the Writers Guild spells out how white the writers' room remains.

Guests:
  • Julie Bean: Former writer for CW's 'The Game'
  • Darnell Hunt: Director of UCLA's Bunche Center for African American Studies
  • Kim Myers: Director of Diversity at the Writers Guild West
